    The remains of Mr. Leon Griffith were brought home from Beloit Tuesday afternoon and were buried from the M.E. church Wednesday forenoon, Prof. Coleman of the Seminary, officiating. Mr. Griffith went to Beloit not very long ago and engaged in work; but he soon took sick of typhoid pneumonia and died Monday evening. His mother and sister were with him during his sickness, but in spite of all that care and skill could do, passed over on the other side. His funeral was largely attended.
